How it sold

The county said the house size would depend on the perc. So we bored it.

The seller had bought these two lots along with the house next door, and for years he kept them mowed. He wanted out of the mowing, and he wanted the money for retirement. The county told us on day one there was no sewer and that the size of house allowed would depend on the perc test.

So instead of selling the lots on hope, we hired a licensed soil scientist to bore both, and asked him to design for a four-bedroom house on each instead of three. He found suitable soil on both and laid out an initial and a repair drainfield for each lot, and we took both lots through the county's Improvement Permit. Both soil reports are below.

We also confirmed county water: Harnett Regional Water told us there are mains in both Old Stage Rd and Oxford Woods Dr, about $4,200 to set a meter at the road.

The two lots sold together in December 2024. The sale paid off the seller's home and roughly doubled what he had to retire on, and he no longer has to mow them. In 2025 a new house went up on each lot.

Selling land?

If you own something like this, we would like to hear about it.

Odd lots, divided parcels, land with a question hanging over it: that is most of what we buy. We do the survey, the soil work and the calls to the city and county ourselves, and we put what we find in writing.
